And Biles seconded that saying, “We joke that we’re like worldwide boyfriend and girlfriend because we see each other at these global meets, so I think that’s really cool. You made history. Love u”.
Mariano cried tears of joy after it was confirmed that he had placed third in the men’s floor-exercise final, earning him the bronze medal.
He absolutely adores Simone (duh).
Simone Biles’ boyfriend isn’t intimidated by Zac Efron.
In response, Mariano jokingly posted, “Hey @zacefron I saw her first …”

We couldn’t be more proud of Simone’s Olympic achievements and we’re happy to see her having fun with her bae! If you are expecting, consider calling your child Simone-the name a real victor. Despite a previous post in which Biles called him her “brazilian boyfriend”, the USA gold medalist told Us Weekly that they’re just friends.
